Jam

Jam is made from cooked fruit and sugar to make a gel. The quintessential uses are on toast with peanut butter or on scones with Devonshire cream. However, I have heard many stories about eating my jam with a spoon straight out of the jar! After trying a sampler pack, Chris M. wrote me to say:

Jam. Is. Delicious. The Ground Cherry one is my favourite – it’s like this amazing fall pie filling (almost the consistency of Butter Tart filling). So nice. I’m saving the mint for the holidays. Just wanted to say how much we’re enjoying it – we’ll be back for more.

This year I have many varieties in my pantry but I only make a small batch of each so they disappear quickly. For a list of what’s available, visit us on www.facebook.com/jaminjars

I welcome requests! This is what I’ve made in past years and am happy to make a batch again. Just let me know what kind and how many jars you want of each.
